ArmInfo. Armenia and the United Kingdom are interested in improving the quality of cooperation in the health sector, which is currently not developing so actively. This was announced during the meeting of Healthcare Minister Arsen Torosyan with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Great Britain and the United Kingdom of Northern Ireland to Armenia Judith Farnworth.
According to the press office of the ministry, the parties agreed to determine further joint steps through more substantive discussions. In particular, the Ambassador expressed interest in the priority programs of the RA Ministry of Healthcare and introduced the methods used in the UK health care system. J. Farnworth expressed willingness to assist in the implementation of certain programs in terms of sharing experiences related, in particular, to the fight against smoking.
In his turn, Minister Torosyan noted that he is confident that next year the budget replenishment will help to increase the effectiveness of the programs being implemented in the healthcare sector.
